Seemed a neat idea but ...
There is space inside this 1950s dashboard radio for one of those keyfob/
matchbox size FM radios, this one based on a TDA7088T. The original AM
radio
works fine, well minimal hash from the buzzer mechanism of the vibrator
12V
to HV supply and the FM works fine with a proper linear mains derived HV
unit and the 12V to 3V ps. But try the FM off the original HV supply and
the
hash from the buzzer mechanism makes it unlistenable to. Whatever I try in
the way of screening/ wire routing makes little difference. Any ideas
before
rejecting the project?


New AM/FM car radios are cheap.


This is true, but the OP, and many classic car buffs (most, in fact) do not
want to have a modern radio in the dash. They want the original, or one that
looks exactly like the original.- Hide quoted text -
